I recently upgraded to kubuntu 14.04. I used to have Shift+Alt as a shortcut to change keyboard layouts back in 12.04 but its not working now. I see <Shift><Meta> as next input shortcut in ibus-setup but apparently its not working. I can assign other shortcuts like Ctrl+space and it works fine.

I am aware that there was some issue with modifier only shortcuts, in unity however this seems to have been fixed in gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.6.1-0ubuntu11. Indeed if I switch to Unity this shortcut works flawlessly but not in KDE.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  • Is there another program that has the global Shift+Alt combination registered (System Settings > Common Appearance and Behavior > Shortcuts and Gestures > Global Keyboard Shortcuts)?

  • nope. in fact you cannot add shortcuts that are modifier only like alt+shift in Shortcuts and Gestures.

Navigate to System Settings -> Hardware: Input Devices -> Keyboard -> Advanced -> Switching to another layout and choose as you please, there are modifier-only and also normal shortcuts.

works with KDE Plasma 5
